Hedge funds have been growing in popularity for the last 15 years, but should they be included in a well-balanced portfolio?

By 2008, hedge funds had amassed over $2 trillion under management. But the crash of that year cancelled all the profits they had made in the previous decade. Things haven't improved much since then; and that's before you factor in the typical 2% management fee and 20% performance fee.
